ANATOMIA - Dead Bodies in the Morgue CD [MEMENTO-XV]
Featuring past and current members from some seminal and legendary Japanese acts such as Transgressor, Necrophile and Sadondeth, the Death/Doom rotting corpse known as Anatomia was born in 2002 with a strong penchant for dense, fuzzed out, viscous, heavy-as-fuck and crawling music. This CD features cover art by César Valladares Fernández (whose talented work decorates albums and merch from bands such as Krisiun, Asphyx, Grave Miasma or Abigail) and compiles both their revered "Demo 2003" and "Human Lust" demos topped with six rare and previously unreleased live and rehearsal tracks, including two covers from the mighty Autopsy, namely "Charred Remains" and "Fiend for Blood". Death Metal in all its mean spirited and decaying glory!!!

SYMPTOM - Opulent Atrocity CD [MEMENTO-XVI]
2011 saw this U.S. band coming out with two EP's, entitled "Symptom" and "Descensus Morte", that became a solid showcase of the kind of eerie, doomed and darkened Metal of Death that oozes madness, horror and despair. "Opulent Atrocity", their debut full-length, is a colossal step forward in their own direction, one that mixes up the thick somberness of such acts as Incantation, Immolation or Dead Congregation with the existential nausea of diSEMBOWELMENT or Evoken. Mastered by Javier Felez @ Moontower Studios (Ataraxy, Teitanblood, Graveyard, Morbid Flesh...) and empowered with conceptual lyrics that tell the real story of an infamous building where all the past suffering remains alive and all nightmares come true, "Opulent Atrocity" is here to terrify.

------> We're pleased to announce the addition of two new creatures to our humble yet proud family:

CHALICE OF DOOM, a melodic Doom/Death band from Jordan joins our ranks for the release of their upcoming 2nd full-length CD, an album that will combine a diverse range of musical influences, featuring a few talented guest performances, in order to make this record a soul-touching experience and an adventurous journey into the mournful side of existence. Absolutely recommended for fans of such bands as My Dying Bride, Officium Triste, Mourning Beloveth, Draconian, Paradise Lost or Saturnus. Album title, tracklist and artwork to be revealed soon along with an album preview on YouTube. The release date has been set for June 2013. Stay tuned and go like the band's profile in the meanwhile: www.facebook.com/ChaliceOfDoom

UNCOFFINED, a morbid musical entity from the U.K. featuring current and past members of such acts as Winds Of Genocide, Morstice and Blessed Realm, that draw their influences from old school Death/Doom, traditional Doom Metal, nihilistic and misanthropic Sludge, old stinking graveyards that reek of death, old Hammer horror/low budget/zombie movies, the occult and clandestine satanic rituals. Their music is the aural equivalent of a dark haunting sinister figure lurking amongst the shadows and graves of an overgrown old graveyard that no one dares to enter at night. Or, as stated by the almighty Mike Abominator, "sounds like a more evil Winter getting fucked and killed by Paradise Lost demo era doing Trouble covers!". Their debut full-length, entitled "Ritual Death and Funeral Rites", has already been recorded and mixed by Bri Doom @ Studio 1 in 12 (Bradford, U.K.) and will be mastered by Javier Felez @ Moontower Studios (Barcelona, Spain). Artwork and layout will be handled by Ola Sjöberg (Macabre End/God Macabre). September 2013 has been set as the release date. In the meanwhile, you can listen to one of the songs (not mastered yet) at www.reverbnation.com/uncoffined and go like their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Uncoffined/196192110415782

------> We're also pleased to announce that we'll be putting out the 2nd full-length CD from the U.S. über-Death/Doom machine SHADOW OF THE TORTURER. The album will be entitled "Dronestown" and will feature three torturing, bleak and massively crushing songs for an approximate running time of 55 minutes. Those that experienced "Marching Into Chaos", their previous album on Memento Mori, know what to expect from these doomsters. Artwork will be handled by the band's brand new drummer, Tim Call (also drummer for Aldebaran and owner of Parasitic Records). The release date has not been set yet.

------> The album title and cover art (handled by Nev Doesartforbands) for the upcoming debut full-length CD from the Finnish Death/Doom ensemble SOLOTHUS on Memento Mori have been revealed. "Summoned from the Void" will be mastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Recording Studios (Canwell, U.K.) during the next few weeks and will be released in June 2013. You can check the cover art here: www.memento-mori.es/images/releases/Solothus_Cover.jpg
Fans of bands such as Hooded Menace, Coffins, Autopsy, Runemagick, Asphyx or Cianide, you better get ready to be summoned into the Void!!!

We'll likely get some more releases out, including some reissues that -just like stated on some previous update- we won't be announcing until they're ready to hit the pressing plant. All in all, it'll be a total of 12-14 titles to be released along the year, so stay tuned!!!_________________MEMENTO MORI
